Katona’s ‘hubby wants to leak couple’s sex tape on net to ease cash crisis’

London, Sept 16 (ANI): Already troubled Kerry Katona fears getting into more mess as hubby Mark Croft wants to sell off a steamy sex tape of the couple to alleviate their cash crunch, it has emerged.

Pals say Katona’s former taxi driver hubby tried to sell the idea to her, which has made the ex-Atomic Kitten even more anxious about losing the custody of her two daughters, Molly and Lilly Sue, to their father and divorced hubby Brian Nicholas McFadden.

“Mark’s not given up hope by any means. He thinks it’s a guaranteed earner, which could make them anything up to half-a-million,” a pal was quoted by the Daily Star, as saying.

Friends say the 39-year old Croft has no plans to change his mind and he intends to use the cash from the tape’s sale to fund his extravagant lifestyle.

A friend said: “Mark thinks he knows it all and is determined to take over every aspect of Kerry’s life. He thinks that a sex tape of them, which somehow found its way on to the internet, would earn them a lot of cash – at least 250,000 pounds and possibly as much as 500,000 pounds.

“Mark is absolutely obsessed with money and has told Kerry that it could be a life-saver for them, but at the moment she’s having nothing to do with it.

“She’s scared stiff of anything so tacky being the last stop in her attempts to hold on to her two little girls by Brian McFadden.” (ANI)

The former Atomic Kitten was said to have broken down, waking her children, before screaming: “I’m going to kill myself.”

Kerry Katona piles on the pounds she lost from £15k liposuction

London, June 21 (ANI): Kerry Katona has piled back the pounds she lost from 15000-pound liposuction.

Six months ago, Katona showed off a svelte new size 8 figure after liposuction and plastic surgery hoovered away her blubber.

However, she is back to the tubby look. She was sported lounging by the hotel pool in a flowery bikini with hubby Mark Croft and bingeing on a massive mega meal of three lunches.

The former Atomic Kitten’s feeding frenzy began with a hearty plate of fish and chips at the restaurant alongside, washed down with a can of coke – not the diet kind, obviously.

Next she ordered a greasy plateful of pork ribs with yet more chips plus a pint of lager.

And as she licked her fingers after gnawing off the last morsel from the bones the former Atomic Kitten pop star still wasn’t done.

She then tucked into a piled platter of fried garlic prawns. This time Katona’s beverage of choice to offset the piquancy of the dish was a Bacardi Breezer.

“Kerry was eating like there was no tomorrow, really shovelling it back. Just one of those meals would have done me. I couldn’t have kept up with her,” the News of the World quoted another holidaymaker as saying.

“The three platefuls came up one after the other and she took just 11/2 hours to polish the lot off.

“I was amazed because her husband looks quite a slim bloke-but he was even feeding Kerry extra titbits off his fork. She was obviously relishing every mouthful. And she didn’t seem to worry what anyone thought about all the food she was ordering.

“Afterwards she just walked back to the pool and cooled off in the water, juggling her giant boobs about,” the holidaymaker added. (ANI)

Hysterical Kerry Katona ‘calmed’ by psychiatric nurse after hubby row

The former ‘Atomic Kitten’ was said to have been in frenzy after hubby Mark Croft walked out of her 1.3million home after being accused of spending her millions and making her bankrupt.

The ex-singer was reportedly also paranoid over Mark’s relationship with his ex-girlfriend Louise Oortwyn, who is also the mother of his seven-year-old daughter.

“She is totally paranoid about Mark going back to Louise. She hates the fact that she is the other woman he has loved and that she will always be in his life,” News of the World quoted a pal as saying.

“Kerry can’t buy Mark’s affection any more because the money has run out and she is beside herself at the thought of him leaving again,” the pal added.

The 28-year-old purportedly went out of control after accompanying Mark to his aunt’s funeral.

A source said: “Mark wanted to pay his respects but had to leave early as Kerry was all over the place, ranting and rambling. They had a huge row when they got home and Kerry was so hysterical they had to call out a psychiatric nurse to calm her down.

“Then in the middle of the night Kerry called a taxi and went to stay in a hotel. She couldn’t cope with being in the house any more. She can’t afford to go to rehab again so she went away to try to get herself together.” (ANI)

Kerry Katona’s new MTV series may be pulled after slurring video

London, Mar 29 (ANI): New fears for Kerry Katona’s well-being have been raised after she was seen slurring her words, gurning, and swaying in a recently leaked video.

The shocking three-minute clip is the bankrupt star’s first video since her reconciliation with her husband Mark Croft 10 days ago.

The footage, shot on March 25 by her MTV crew, shows troubled Kerry on the phone at a spa resort, gabbling to one of the channel’s workers.

“Kerry seems to be in this state all the time. The footage that’s been coming in has shocked a lot of people here,” the News of the World quoted a source as saying.

The source added: “Kerry blames it on medication for her bipolar disorder (manic depression)-but that’s becoming harder for us to believe.”

In the video, the MTV worker asks whether she and Mark are still together, and a gurning Kerry- looking bedraggled in a white dressing gown-slurred: “Yes we are. Mark’s at home looking after the kids. I’m here with a friend.”

But gabbling on about Mark, she said: “Things happen in a marriage, things have to be said, things happen behind closed doors-that’s between a man and wife, a husband and wife.”

At one point in the video, she said that she wanted to develop an acting career this year.

“Yeah, I’m looking forward to the future. I’m looking forward to the new show coming out. People watching that. Maybe a bit of acting,” she said.

However, the six-part series may not be shown owing to Kerry’s increasingly disturbed antics.

The source said: “We’re desperately trying to put a show together -but her behaviour keeps changing the game.” (ANI)
